HOW DO WE DIG OUR GRAVES /?
We must eat or we cannot live. This
we all know. But do we all know that
we die by eating? 1t is said we dig our
graves with our teeth. How foolish this
sounds. Yet it is fearfully true. We
are terrified at the approach of cholera
and yellow fever, yet there is disease
constantly at our doors and in our houses
far more dangerous and destructive.
Most people have in their own stomachs
poison, more slow, but quite as fatal as
the germ of these maladies which sweep
men into eternity by thousands without
warning in the times of great epidemics.
But it is mercy that, if we are watch
full, we can tell when we are threatened.
The following are among the symptoms,
yet they do not always necessarily ap-
pear in the same order, nor are they al
ways the same in different cases. There
is dull and sleepy feeling bad taste
in the mouth, especially in the morning !;
the appetite is changeable, sometimes
poor and again it seems as though the pa
tient could not eat enough and occasion
ally no appetite at all dizziness and slug
gishness of the mind no ambition to
study or work more or less headache
and heaviness in the head; dizziness
on rising to feet or moving suddenly ;
furred and coated tongue; sense of a
load on the stomach that nothing re-
moves hot and dry skin at times yell
low tinge in the eyes scanty and high
frequently attended by palpitation of the
heart impaired vision, with spots that
seem to be swimming in the air before
the eyes /; cough with greenish color
ed expectoration poor nights rest a
sticky slime about the teeth and gums ;
hands and feet cold and clammy irrita-
BILE temper and bowels bound up and
costive. This disease has puzzled the
physicians and still puzzles them. 1t is
the commonest of ailments and yet the
most complicated and Mysterious
Sometimes it is treated as consumption,
sometimes as liver complaint, and then
again as malaria and even heart disease.
But its real nature is that of constipation
and dyspepsia. 1t arises in the digestive
organs and soon affects all the others
through the corrupted and poisoned
blood. Often the whole body-including
the nervous system-is literally starred,
even when there is no emaciation to tell
the sad story.
Experience has shown that there is but
one remedy that can Ger ainly cure this
disease in all its stages, namely, Shaker
Extract of Roots or Mother Seigel's Cur
alive Syrup. 1t never fails but, never
theless, no time should be lost in trying
other so-called remedies, for they will do
no good. Get this great vegetable pre-
paration, Id scovered by venerable
nurse whose name is household word
in Germany and be sure to get the gen.

GIVEN UP BY SEVEN DOCTORS.
haker Extract of Roots or Seigel's
Syrup has raised me to good health after
seven doctors had given me up to die
with consumption. So writes R. F.
Grace, Kirkmanville, Todd Co., KY.
HE HEARD OF IT JUST IN TIME.
Il had been about given up to die with
dyspepsia when 1 first saw the advertise
ment of Shaker Extract of Roots or Sci
gels Syrup. After using four bottles l
was able to attend to my business as we'll
as ever. I know of several cases of chills
and fever that have been cured by it.
So writes Mr.. Thos. Pullum, of Taylor,
Geneva Co., Ala.
WORTH TEN DOLLARS A BOTTLE.
Mr.. Thomas P. Evans, of the firm of
Evans & Bro, Merchants, Hornville,
Accomack Co., Va, writes that he had
been sick with digestive disorders for
many years and had tried many physi-
clans and medicines without benefit. He
began to use Shaker Extract of Roots or
Seigel's Syrup about the list of JAM, 1887.
and was so much better in three weeks
that he considered himself practically a
we'll man. He adds: 81 have at this
time one bottle on hand, and if could
not get anv more I icould mot take q ten
dollar bill for it,"
